Hey I am very sensitive to pain and as far as I know progesterone should be taken when you have the maximum muscle. So I took them on the buttock. Icing the area before the injection worked the best for me and I kept the heating pad on the area after I got the injection. Heating the area with the heating pad and light massage helps the oil based injection to not form clots. I have done 2 cycles and this worked the best for me. Also my partner injected me on the buttocks which helped :) I took all the other injections by myself. Hope everything goes well for you xx
Also kept alternating the buttocks so I don’t stress out one. Thankfully ended up with limited and tolerable pain.
Thanks guys. No way hubby will do it for me so having to do it in my thigh. Will do an ice back next time. At least this is every three days. I’m limping so bad haha
Hope ice pack helps you, don’t forget to massage the area and make it warm later.
I got give shorter needles from the clinic, and tried icing before and after. Felt ok immediately but same thing later this afternoon - muscle is very sore so struggling to walk. Guess this is just my reality for a month or two! It’s worth it
Freeze, take one out per injection a couple of minutes beforehand, thank me later 💖🫶🏻 umorismo 10 Pcs Gel Ice Packs Ice Pads Small Hot Cold Compress Ice Bag Reusable Small Ice Packs for Kids Adult Beauty,Teeth,Relief,Eye,Fever(10 Round) https://amzn.eu/d/0KX7J3n
